<p>I hope you get into Cornell, Darthmouth and Upenn, considering everything you've gone through.</p>

<p>I think you will be fine.</p>

4

<p>why the hell do u want to be a nurse w/ so much talent and potential</p>

5

<p>Lol, I enjoy medical field + I'm sure it will be 1000x harder applying to those schools without making myself standout in the particular field i'm applying to.</p>

6

<p>i think uz be talented enough to pursue a reg pre-med major...just my 2 centz</p>

7

<p>Alright, well I guess I will be open to any pre-med major than, do you know what my chacnes would be for those particular schools?</p>

<p>Do you plan on switching from a nurse once you get in.</p>

10

<p>Probably not -- depends on how I like it.</p>

11

<p>You should be fine. Good luck :)</p>

12

<p>you will 98% get into all of thoes schools. being that you are african american, and low income, and all that u have been through and you still managed to work hard and be so smart. you better get in.</p>

13

<p>I didn't know I had that good of a chance, could anyone else shed some light?</p>

14

<p>bump............</p>

15

<p>Increased chances because you're underrepresented minority male looking for nursing, a "pink-collar" profession (based on #s, nothing else).</p>
